March 28 - Happy Birthday

[brightestlight]

She didn't know when his birthday was. He'd never told her, so when she got the email, it just sort of exploded into a flurry of needing to do things. Of needing to put something together, and that's why she did. That's why she messaged him, why she'd booked the holodeck, and why she'd done this. She was outside, waiting.

And, yeah, she was wringing her hands, until she heard him coming closer. Because she was nervous. Because, as he'd told her once, what seemed a lifetime ago, he loved birthdays.

And she, Caroline Forbes, was pretty much the world's biggest stickler for throwing good parties.

"Hey," she said, exhaling in sort of a rush, smiling brightly because she was glad to see him, but that also sort of meant she could stop working on it, she could just hope it all went off well.

It's instinct; Klaus makes sure that as far as his weakened senses can tell, they're alone right then. Then he closes his eyes, his hand finding hers so she can easily lead him into the holodeck, after she opens the door.

"Go on, then."
